In Reply to: Any Cary transport parts compatible with SCD-1? posted by rich121 on February 15, 2007 at 16:33:17:
Parts are available, Sony still shows $254.00 flat rate repair for the SCD1, to many rumors not enought facts.The part numbers may change over time, but as long as there is a shown demand for parts they will continue to stock them, of course at some point this does end, but the consumer demands have a big impact on this.
I worked for Sony Service for 18 years I know of what I speak. Cary is buying OEM from Sony, if they can buy the part then its still out there, right?
Cary has other issues with this unit. I had five of them, all had problems of some sort, some worse then others.
It like my brother, he paid a guy to built his computer from scratch and 8 months later still having problems, reason, all the parts are not working together as they should, same happens with a unit like the Cary 306 SACD, something is a miss and the parts are not working together as they should, and this does not just happen to Cary, but a lot of smaller companies that depend on OEM parts to built their units.
This is not a knock just a fact, some units I aould not buy because I know there will be problems down the road and who is going to fix them? This should be a number one concern on top of the sound quality of a unit.
Some manufactures may not even be around in 5 years, then what do you do? Something to think about.
Sony has a service website.
The SCD1 is a very good sounding and built as good as anything made today and 6 times the asking price, you can find them used in pristine condition for $2,200 or so.
If you want to take a chance on a mod being done on it, you could do that also and wind up having a unit that would still be cheaper then buying some of the crap out there today.
